When Ye Yifan turned back, what came into his eyes was Tang Xia who ran her eyes over everything on the table. He glimpsed at the food on the table, only to find some common food. But she was so delighted to have them.
Just like a child determinedly keeping something of his own from being taken away, she was just less reasonable yet with more children's simplicity.
"Hum, yes. That's right."
Ye Yifan pondered over this carefully in his mind, then he smiled and sat beside her.
In fact, Tang Xia had stopped eating in the way that she was keeping her food from taken away and hadn't had anything for hundreds of years the instant she looked up and saw him. But she wouldn't know why Ye Yifan would think of her that way. Maybe he had been watching her for a long time somewhere else.
"There's something around the corner of your mouth."
Tang Xia was eating the food on the table as decent as a gentlewoman with the slightest movements. If Ye Yifan hadn't seen her like that just now, he would never believe that girl would be her.
But she was having food with extreme care. How should there be anything left on the corner of her mouth?
Tang Xia looked up silently at him and was puzzled. Why would she care so much about what he said inadvertently?
"Tang Xia, you are so useless."
She frowned and knocked herself on the head, with her whole face wrinkled.
She frowned and knocked herself on the head, with her whole face wrinkled.
"Here." the low-pitched and pleasant voice sounded around her ears. Tang Xia believed she must have a burning and flushed face now when a shadow came down to her.
Ye Yifan took out some napkins from the box behind her and carefully wiped the tomato sauce around the corner of her mouth for her, and then he threw the napkins into the trash can.
All of this happened in just a few seconds but was like slow motion in Tang Xia's eyes. After all, the man before her was the Prince Charming whom she had adored for so long.
"Just now you..." Ye Yifan seemed to be amusing her. He sat back beside Tang Xia composedly and picked up the corners of his lips badly, staring at her with teasing eyes.
Tang Xia's first reaction when hearing his words was that he meant her running her eyes over the food on the table when he came in.
She had always been one-track minded. But now she was clear that most people in her live room had changed their opinions toward her tremendously. If Ye Yifan was one of these people, she would have to pray that her image in the eyes of all, especially in that of Ye Yifan, would not diminish.
"I... no... well... I was just so starving... I never eat that way in my daily life. I swear!"
Tang Xia wiped her mouth with her sleeves casually. When she found nothing around her lips, she got nervous and stammered, with her hands gesticulating something. She thought it would be alright if she explained in advance, whether he believed or not.
Ye Yifan seemed to have understood all and shook his head with his smiling eyes.
"I mean, didn't you notice there was some tomato sauce around the corner of your mouth?"
Things changed so fast that Tang Xia failed to follow him. She winked, not knowing what to say. What should she say under this condition?
"Well... I've always been like that. So... I was kind of... I don't know." Tang Xia scratched her head.
"Tang Xia, you're so lovely." Ye Yifan laughed suddenly though he didn't know what Tang Xia was saying, as if something had hit right on the punch line.
"What happened?" Tang Xia was stupefied, so she asked.
"Nothing." Ye Yifan smiled and shook his head. "Isn't it too inconvenient to eat here? Let's go and find a cleaner restaurant. My treat."
"Ah? No, thanks. I just come here to kill time. I'm not hungry at all, in fact. Hha." Seeing Ye Yifan stand up and step outward, Tang Xia also stood up immediately and got him in the way.
But people always said plans might not be able to keep up with changes. Though it was not quite appropriate to be used to describe the current situation, Tang Xia's stomach did growl when she stood up. What's that?
She thought she could chat with Ye Yifan for all night in the small place the instant she saw him, which would probably make her closer to him. But she was embarra.s.sing herself before him. She couldn't help keeping her head lower and lower.
"Alright. I know you don't want to go elsewhere. Then enjoy yourself here. But I've said that's my treat." Ye Yifan smiled and said reluctantly.
He then shouted and ordered some common dishes and sat down, showing his understanding.
Tang Xia hollowly laughed and started eating the barbecue she ordered, keeping her head down.
She didn't care where and when to eat. As an old saying goes, food is the paramount necessity of the people. Even though there were so many people advising her not to eat like this every day, she didn't care. Just like this, she could still stoke here in a smaller place though she refused to go to any grand restaurant with Ye Yifan.
All the dished ordered by Ye Yifan were swallowed by Tang Xia herself. Though Ye Yifan didn't care much because he seldom ate these dishes, he felt satisfactory himself when he saw Tang Xia eat as if she hadn't had anything for days.
Ye Yifan smiled and looked at her until she ate up everything and touched her bulging belly with a smirk. Then she turned back and grinned at him.
"You seemed to have had nothing." Tang Xia ordered a gla.s.s of water, sat before him and said.
"Because I didn't expect that I would come across a chowhound when I took the money." Ye Yifan smiled and shrugged.
"What? How dare you call my name in my face?" Tang Xia was blushed a little and her eyes became blurred because of the drinking.
"I thought you wouldn't hear that."
Ye Yifan looked at Tang Xia and smiled, who was also looking at him with a smile. One was sober while the other was drunk; one was reasonable while the other was unruled.
Though Tang Xia was almost drunk, she was still able to chat with Ye Yifan. Ye Yifan said he was looking forward Tang Xia's performance in the future. Tang Xia just nodded and promised that she wouldn't let him down. But who knew what he had told her.
"Did you encounter anything in that world?"
"No. Nothing except Chu Tiankuo." Tang Xia was dazed, with her chin resting on her hands but her eyes closed.
"Chu Tiankuo? Who's that?" Ye Yifan shook her as if he were trying to wake her up.
"Stop it." She patter Ye Yifan on his hand, just like the way she slapped Chu Tiankuo when he got physical to accomplish a task during a live show.
"Chu Tiankuo, you are no more than a narcissistic, scheming and presumptuous guy." Tang Xia smacked her lips as if the memory would be everlasting.
"Chu Tiankuo..."
"I want to go home." Tang Xia opened her eyes instantly. She stood up swiftly as soon as she finished speaking and then walked out directly after glancing at Ye Yifan.
"Wait. I'll pay the bill." He thought she must have been drunk when he saw her groggy movement.
Having paid the bill, he walked with Tang Xia on the road. The wind was no so cold but would give people a sense of fear due to the encirclement of darkness.
Everything was unknown. The chilly wind in the darkness enervated all the thoughts as long as they encountered the dark and blurred.
Such as Tang Xia, who had been awake from the drunk sleep once the cool wind blew across her back.
"Let me sent you home!" Staring at her clear and s.h.i.+ning eyes in the darkness, Ye Yifan said slowly.
Tang Xia opened her mouth but said nothing when she noticed Ye Yifan's next move.
Finally, Ye Yifan sent her home. She seemed to have nothing else to say except "thank you".
Ye Yifan didn't leave until he saw her get home safely.
Tang Xia was alone in the empty house.
She took a deep breath and rushed to the bathroom to take a shower and brushed her teeth. Then she went to bed wearing a casually selected dress.
Nothing seemed to be different except that Chu Tiankuo had gone.
Though she was drunken and sleepy as if she would fall asleep as long as she closed her eyes, things turned to be the opposite.
All that she could see after closing her eyes was the enlarged and cool face of Chu Tiankuo.
She was startled and opened her eyes widely in the dark, breaking into a cold sweat.
She turned on the light slowly and sat on the bed in silence.
This was just like a nightmare. But she had already split with him.
Her goal was to let Chu Tiankuo fall in love with her, but she turned out to be wrong. She shouldn't have to do that. There was no reason for her to love Chu Tiankuo, neither was she good nor powerful enough to love him.
"Is he alright now?" She had left him quietly because she knew he showed up merely due to the task of the live show.
Anyway, he showed up in the first two tasks. Who knew whether he would reappear or not in the following tasks.
"Let it go. Stop thinking about him and go to sleep."
But she thought over and over again. "People held a totally different att.i.tude towards her. Is there anything to do with Chu Tiankuo?"
"No, nothing. The man does not exist at all. It couldn't be so coincidental."
She comforted herself for a long time and fell asleep unknowingly.
